You are in combat with 5 undead Nagah Ghouls. Lieutenant Quang fights fiercely by your side, and the three Watchers engage those ghouls that attempt to outflank you.

5 Nagah Ghouls: COMBAT SKILL 45 ENDURANCE 60

You may add 6 points to your COMBAT SKILL for the duration of this combat for Quang and the Watchers are fighting by your side throughout this battle against these fearsome foes. If you win this combat, Quang decapitates the heads of the fallen enemy to prevent them from being reanimated by the evil energy that has kept them in an undead state for centuries. As he chops off the head of the last Nagah Ghoul with his kirusami, you feel a chilling aura radiating from the Eye of Agarash. A sudden wave of weakness drains you of 3 ENDURANCE points.

As the nausea subsides, you turn your attention to the Watchers who have all sustained wounds during the combat. By the use of your Magnakai Curing Discipline, you are able to stop their bleeding and help them quickly to recover. You sense that you must now leave this location for there are more Nagah Ghouls in the vicinity and they are heading for the tavern garden, drawn by the foul smell of the spilt blood of their slain brethren. Hurriedly, you all remount your horses and press on with your journey to Vabou without further delay.

Turn to 227.
